1973 Grand Banks 36 Classic

An all round seaworthy performer, the Grand Banks 36 Classic is capable of real deep water cruising. Long keel, 26,000 lb displacement, hard chine, and a deep forefoot hull provide stability and seaworthiness.

High bulwarks with sturdy teak handrails, the mastery of beautifully carved teak scrolls, stainless steel stanchions and grabrails on the house sides, anchor platform with anchor roller and bow pulpit, teak swim platform, transom boarding steps, wide side decks, port, starboard and stern boarding gates are some of the features standard on the Grand Banks 36.

The flybridge offers a duplicate helmsman station with full instrumentation, venturi windscreen, and extra stowage beneath the console. The long and wide flybridge has seating for six adults. Under the seats are stowage compartments.

The fiberglass Grand Banks 36 is also luxurious. Teak joinery work by old-world hand craftsmen gives a practical beauty above and below decks. The cabin soles are teak parquet throughout. The main decks are teak planked. Extensive locker and drawer space are made out of golden Burmese teak. The saloon is a spacious living area complete with solid teak yacht table, L-shaped settee, bar cabinet, and the helm station.

Accessibility to the exterior and flybridge from the saloon is made easier with the presence of starboard saloon door. Full instrumentation and the electrical panel is neatly recessed into the helm station. A full width teak console above the helm station provides space to house an array of electronics equipment. The glass windows all round provide full fore and aft visibility. The well equipped galley comes with hot and cold pressurized water system, stove and oven, large stainless steel sink, dish locker and electric refrigerator are all conveniently located.

The master stateroom aft has a double berth at starboard and a single berth at port with generous drawer space below. The adjoining toilet compartment is spacious and airy with full headroom. The head and shower compartment has built in sink, head, large mirror, and convenient storage space in the counter drawers and locker.

The companionway in the aft stateroom leads to the aft deck. A neatly recessed stowaway teak ladder provides access to the aft deck via twin opening doors. The forward stateroom also has a large hanging locker and plenty of storage space.

Whether you are motoring around the bay or you're hundreds of miles at sea, quiet twin diesel engines are made quieter by the use of special engine room sound insulation. These smooth, heavy-duty engines provide long-range economical operation.
